Welcome to Vintage Wasteland. Home of the suede, no-sew upcycles, ducks, and queer cowboys. Our upcycler of the week, Alex Kelley, has honed in on illustrating and stamping tattoo-esque charactures of nature and folklore onto thrifted pieces. Let’s talk about our favorite materials to work with and wear, the history of trends, and shall we go as far as make some winter trend predictions?? Yeehaw!
